My first brisket

[truckee1]

Its 0500 and my smoker has been getting up to temp for my first brisket.  I'll keep posting the progress... along with Q-views, as I already know the requests for it will come.  Keeping fingers crossed here for some tender brisket!!

Got it in the smoker !!

Digging the smoker. Very nice. Good luck

About 3 hours in and bark is starting to form nicely ( at least I think so ) and juices are starting to flow... Trying to keep the temp between 275-300.  Fingers still crossed...

Should I rotate it around some so the heat isnt coming across the point end the whole time?

I would leave it alone but it won't hurt to rotate.

finished brisket... done in about 6 hours.. sooner than I had planned, but hey... Its resting now...

Let us know how it turns out. I usually cook mine at a lower temp.

Send some sliced and plated shots.  6 hrs. seems quick. I'm a L&S man. 225*F . I like the slower pace.

 , wating for those shots...

I think it turned out good for my first one.
